Programs

Clinical Services

Under the direction of SARRC's Vice President/Clinical Services Director Daniel Openden, Ph.D., BCBA, SARRC's intervention programs and supports are based on best-practice models. SARRC currently offers a broad range of programs for a large number of families with children with autism. SARRC's goal is to develop a comprehensive, integrated model by building excellence into each of its programs. Building excellence implies relying on evidence-based interventions and collecting data to drive decision making.

Intervention Programs and Supports:

In Home Programs

SARRC provides several In-Home Programs with varying levels of intensity to meet the needs of each family. All In-Home Programs are individualized and focus on training the parent to implement the interventions. Parent training is provided by a highly skilled behavioral interventionist in an interactive form with both the parent and the child.

SARRC Community School

The SARRC Community School is an inclusive preschool program designed to provide 20 hours per week of early intensive behavioral intervention. The Community School uses Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) to provide both natural and motivating learning opportunities to toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-kindergarten-aged children. The school is modeled after the Walden Early Childhood Programs out of Emory University.
